Judy and Maria’s basis for success in today’s competitive marketplace is specialization, extreme focus, unrelenting enthusiasm, and maximum customer service. As self-educated travel gurus we have developed an international website to reach out to the world, while still providing intense personal service.

We developed a business plan to specialize in leisure travel and focus on key destinations that would enable consumers to feel secure about booking and traveling several times a year. We targeted the middle-aged, affluent consumer. Repeat business ensued. In today’s automated world there remain many consumers who elect personal service. We put our expertise to good use and became personal shoppers for today’s busy professionals who are seeking knowledgeable travel and destination experts. We sell enthusiastically with pride of product.

Our Business Model: specialize, focus, love what you do, be #1, be ready at all times for the unforeseen; if you hit a wall, jump over it, go around it, do whatever it takes to make it work; we are our business, we live and breathe it, and it works for us.

Judy & Maria's Goal

Our goal is to provide a quality vacation experience matched to clients' requests & to meet or exceed expectations by listening to the client’s needs, specializing in specific products, & by knowledge of the product gained by personal interaction with the product providers. We visit select resorts a minimum of twice yearly to update & review quality & consistency. We take pride in knowing what we sell. We converse with our clients on a direct basis. We know resort managers and suppliers well & maintain rapport with them. Our agency's foremost priority is to meet with sales/management teams at select resorts to discuss our clients who will vacation at their properties. A well-polished resort is not our deciding factor to promote & sell. Our objective is to ensure that our client(s) will be taken care of from the beginning to the end of their vacation. A great resort has a strong agency/client-oriented management team in place. Customer Satisfaction & Retention is Foremost!

Testimonial from clients vacationing at Secrets Akumal

We have been using Judy and Maria's Travel for years not to a number of Secrets Resorts properties. Every time they book us at a resort we are treated like royalty. From the time we check in to the time we leave they always remember our name and that we are clients of theirs. We always receive a warm greeting that makes us feel like family. On our most recent trip this past April my husband became ill and I wasn't sure if we would have to go home after only our first day. at the resort. I emailed Maria and asked how to go about arranging a trip home should we need to leave early. She personally contacted the resort and let them know our issue. Our concierge, the concierge manager and the Chief Concierge for the property all personally checking in on us to make sure he was ok. Everyone at the resorts knows them personally and they welcome us as clients of Judy and Maria. I can't imagine receiving this level of service from any other agency and I would never book with anyone else. I highly recommend them for your next trip. Thank you as always ladies for the excellent personal service and another wonderful trip. We look forward for our next trip.

Wonderful Family Vacation! Great Resort!

We have just returned from a wonderful vacation at the RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas! I always book my Apple Vacations through Judy & Maria's Travel, Inc. The 5-star service and first-hand knowledge that Maria and Judy have about the resorts is unbeatable! This was our first trip to Cabo and the RIU Palace Resort was amazing. We had 2 ocean view rooms with balcony's that overlooked the pools. This resort has 3 pools. We spent most of our time at the activity pool. Drinks were flowing all day. You could go to the pool bar, or there were plenty of staff service you drinks around the pool. No reservations needed for the specialty restaurants. We tried the Steak House and the Mexican restaurants. Both very good. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the buffets were all fantastic. This resort was extremely clean! We could see staff cleaning all hours of the day. I would definitely return.

I have been a loyal client of Judy and Maria’s Travel since 2003, when I stumbled across their website while researching all-inclusive vacation destinations.

Since then, they have provided knowledgeable, friendly, and competitively priced recommendations and service and flawlessly booked over a dozen trips for me and my immediate family.

I have also referred friends and co-workers who have also received the “above and beyond” service and attention to detail on which I have come to rely.

Our travel arrangements have always been impeccable, and we are always recognized as “friends of Judy and Maria”, or VIPs, at check-in at every resort we have visited.

What sets Judy and Maria’s Travel apart from other agencies is that they listen to what is important to you, and then when they recommend a resort, you can be assured they have been there, and have an established relationship with the management and staff of those resorts. When Judy and Maria tell you that the general manager of a resort is a good friend of theirs, believe it! They are not just talking the talk; I have seen the proof in person.

As luck would have it, Judy and Maria were visiting properties in Riviera Maya this past July the same week that my wife Susan and I were vacationing at Secrets Maroma Beach (fabulous). I had spoken to Maria just prior to leaving and she let me know the day and time she and Judy would be arriving at SMB. As my wife and I strolled into the lobby at the appointed time, and this is no exaggeration, the General Manager, our building concierge Fabiola, and several staff members were standing at attention awaiting their arrival. When Judy and Maria entered the lobby, it was as if the Rolling Stones or Beatles (I’m giving away my age) were in the house! They are truly rock stars. They hugged us and chatted briefly and even invited us to eat lunch with them and the staff; we declined as we did not want to impose, but that just shows you the kind of people they are. They are as nice in person as they are on the telephone. Look no further for trusted travel professionals if you are contemplating an all-inclusive vacation to Mexico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, etc. Judy and Maria’s Travel will meet your needs, exceed your expectations, and most importantly, truly care that your vacation is special. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!

Sincerely,

Rich Lorenzet Forest Hill, MD

Hi Maria,

We want to thank you for everything you did to make our recent trip to Jamaica such a pleasant experience. I really appreciate the room upgrade from Ocean View to Ocean Front that added so much to our stay since we were there for two weeks. The “Iberostar Grand Rose Hall” was a great place and the staff was the best we have ever encountered in our travels. I’ve lost track of how many years your travel service has put together our annual winter vacation, but each year your service just keeps getting better! Once again, thank you for making our recent trip one that Robin & I will never forget.
